I had not heard of George Orwell before, I have already read the book, but before
that I did not know of him.
Before I read the book, when ever somebody said 'animal farm’, I thought of a farm
that is run and operated by animals. The book is a metaphor for the Russian
Revolution, I did not guess this before reading the book, I thought it would be about,
well, an animal farm. The book that I read was an old book with an old orange cover,
just orange and cream, so I did not obtain any clues from the picture.
I think that the connotations of the word animal often depend on the animal, for
example, I could say that animals were cute, child like and human loving, however
that hardly applies to an alligator, that would only like humans to eat. They would be
more aggressive, adaptable, and able to survive in many conditions.
Some typical connotations of the word ‘animal’ would be:
Not as developed (mind wise)
loyalty
wild
adaptability
independant/team player
These are just a few of many connotations of the word ‘animal’.
The word ‘farm’ makes me think of hard work, a place consisting of land, houses and
animals, although not all farms use animals to create their profit, many produce grains or fuel.
